Further Questions for McNulty and Moschella

Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers sent the following letter to Attorney General Gonzales formally requesting that Deputy Attorney General McNulty and Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Moschella be made available promptly for questioning by the Committee, particularly in light of the testimony this week by Monica Goodling:

The Honorable Alberto R. Gonzales

Attorney General of the United States

U.S. Department of Justice

Washington, D.C. 20530

Dear Mr. Attorney General:

Pursuant to previous conversations and requests from my staff, I am writing to formally request that you make available for testimony both Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty and Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General William Moschella. Although we had requested informally that these officials testify even before yesterday's hearing, the testimony of Monica Goodling has made it even more imperative that we hear from Mr. McNulty and Mr. Moschella about concerns that they testified falsely about the 2006 dismissal of U.S. Attorneys. We have appreciated their participation in staff interviews on these subjects, but particularly in light of yesterday's testimony by Ms. Goodling, their testimony before the Committee is clearly necessary.

Sincerely,

John Conyers, Jr.

Chairman
